Dealers from Ohio Unite to Help Katrina Victims

OADA continues to raise funds to offer emergency relief to dealership employees in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi who have suffered losses due to Hurricane Katrina. OADA’s efforts to help Katrina Victims has been a huge success so far.

The Ohio Automobile Dealers Association started the Ohio effort with a contribution of $50,000.  Through the combined efforts of our members and their employees and the Local Associations, we have raised in excess of $190,000 to date. The generosity of the dealers and their employees is very much appreciated.

Kudos to:  Mike Castrucci, Mike Castrucci Ford Sales, Milford, OH, Jeff Wyler and the employees of Jeff Wyler Automotive Family, Cincinnati, OH and Marc Jacobson, Jay Pontiac Buick, Inc. of Bedford, OH for their outstanding support. These dealerships have contributed in excess of $10,000 to NADCF.

It is not too late to send your contribution.  Checks can be made payable to: NADCF Emergency Relief Fund and mailed to OADA,   655 Metro Place South, Suite 270, Dublin, OH  43017.  We will collectively mail the checks to NADA. 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TREMENDOUS RESPONSE AND CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THIS IMPORTANT EFFORT!
